New Resource: Oxford Handbooks Online
The Library has just subscribed to two new sets of e-books from Oxford Handbooks Online:
The Business and Management package contains e-books on topics such as Organizational Theory, Human Resource Management and International Business.
The Political Science package contains e-books on topics such as International Relations, Public Policy and Political Economy.
Containing specially-commissioned essays with extensive referencing to further reading, the handbooks offer both thorough introductions to topics in the discipline, and a useful reference resource for scholars and students.
For off-campus access, select 'login' in the top-right hand corner, and then choose the option to 'Login via your home institution.' Scroll down the list to choose Aston University and click 'Proceed.' You should then see the Aston University login page where you should enter your network username and password (the same ones you use to access MAP, email etc.).
